Waiting on Wednesday {42}

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where bloggers post about much-awaited releases!

Title: The Secret Diamond Sisters (The Secret Diamond Sisters #1)
Author: Michelle Madow
Release Date: February 25th 2014
Publisher: HarlequinTEEN
Age Group: Young Adult
Savannah. Courtney. Peyton.
The three sisters grew up not knowing their father and not quite catching a break. But it looks like their luck is about to change when they find out the secret identity of their long-lost dad—a billionaire Las Vegas hotel owner who wants them to come live in a gorgeous penthouse hotel suite. Suddenly the Strip's most exclusive clubs are all-access, and with an unlimited credit card each, it should be easier than ever to fit right in. But in a town full of secrets and illusion, fitting in is nothing compared to finding out the truth about their past.
I first heard about Michelle Madow because of her Transcend Time trilogy (which I still haven't read) so when I learned about this new series of hers that's being pubbed by HarlequinTEEN, I was just excited. And why not? This book sounds really intriguing. 


Title: Wicked Little Secrets (Prep School Confidential #2)
Author: Kara Taylor
Release Date: March 4th 2014
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Age Group: Young Adult
Anne Dowling—a fresh, original, and funny new YA heroine whose knowing, irreverent voice will remind readers of Pretty Little Liars and Private—is back for her second semester at Wheatley Prep. Although things have settled (somewhat) since her roommate Isabella’s death, Anne's still kind of obsessed with the disappearance of Wheatley student Matthew Weaver thirty years ago, since she found a picture of him and his crewmates with the words “they killed him” scrawled on the back among Isabella’s things.
When Anne learns that her boyfriend Brent’s dad is one of the now-powerful Wheatley alumni who rowed crew with Matthew, and that the crew team continues to induct new members with a creepy-sounding ritual called “The Drop,” she knows further investigation could put her relationship with Brent in danger. Determined to discover the truth, she reaches out to Anthony, Isabella’s townie brother, who helps her delve deeper into the secrets in Wheatley’s past. Secrets someone would kill to keep hidden. As the school’s Spring Formal—and its notorious afterparty—approaches, Anne sees the perfect opportunity to do some off-campus digging into the lives of Wheatley’s VIPs in this thrilling, unputdownable read—but if she’s not careful, she’ll be the next student who never comes back.
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Prep School Confidential, so of course I'm looking forward to this sequel! I hope Anne keeps her sass and levelheadedness and that the mystery will be kicked up a notch.

  5. I haven't read Prep School Confidential, but I've seen some more reviews recently that make me want to pick it up. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of the sequel! And The Secret Diamond Sisters doesn't quite sound like my sort of book, but I hope it lives up to your expectations too. :) Thanks for sharing!
